Do you believe in open relationships?

[shmiddy]

yes

[snyouger]

no I like to keep relationships closed just me and the other person

[spekalo6]

naaa, but whatever feels comfortable works

[Candimoney]

no, i feel it defeats the purpose of being in a relationship, since relationships should be about commitment.

[shmiddy]

yes

[trujillo33]

NO i dont believe and open relationships...why would u even be in a relationship when u want to see other people. Just dont be with the person and you can see anyone  u want.

[vangabhargavi]

While I do not have an open relationship and have never had one, I can see the reasoning behind having one. I have often considered it for myself, however, I just have not been able to get past the trust issue.

I have been with my guy for almost 21 years, and I can understand alot of the reasoning behind a open relationship. For one thing, sex does become stale after so many years with the same person. There are only so many new things to try. I also believe it is in human nature to be curious about someone else. It also would work for the bi-sexual female and males to have an open relationship, this way they are not denying either side of themselves.

However, the only sticking point for me ever really starting an open relationship is the trust issue. For one thing, I would worry that he would end up falling for the girl and then where would I be? Another trust issue I would have is that she might end up getting pregnant and I would be stuck helping to take care of a kid that I didnt want or that she may become obssessed with him and do everything she could to break up our relationship. If I felt that I could truly trust everyone involved, then it is possible that an open relationship could and would work.

I remember when I was in junior high school, everyone would call it "seeing someone", which meant you were not boyfriend or girlfriend but you would date that person and anyone else you wanted to "see". I think thats fine, until you reach about 18. I think at 18 you should start having serious relationships and only be faithful to one person.

yes, but ONLY if both persons involved are going to be COMPLETELY honest about what we do and don't do.  I was in an open relationship and we could never agree on.   When HE wanted to have "fun" it was always ok, but when it was my turn there was ALWAYS somekind of problem with the situation.  Or he didn't "like" the person.  Or if I didn't feel comfortable in the situation he would be mad at me. Needless to say...I'm NOT with him anymore...LOL

I guess if your looking for a fling.
But I get more opinionated when it's an open marriage.

[klutzycutie]

in a way i guess

[tzs]

I personally don't believe it, because there will be jealousy, no matter how honest you are with eachother.......

[wildinero]

Its not for me, but I know that some feel that its ok. I say to each's own, meaning whatever floats your boat, but like I said its just not the way I roll. I think if you find someone you can truly connect with why risk losing a good thing, just to be free to date other people why lose what you have now for just a possibility of somthing with someone else. whats your view point?

its no for me is no the way i choice
